Mentally unfit but serving anyway

"Hollywood especially has exploited and cashed-in on the 'unhinged soldier.' In its collective effort to better understand the plight of the veteran post-Vietnam, the American public has generally accepted this broad caricature, and will apply it often unthinkingly, without context, to many of these very real and tragic stories as they unfold. But while dismissing a direct link between PTSD and violent crime is one thing, it still doesn’t let the military and the effects of war off the hook." (01/10/12)
